you are talking about double standards. Mod will apply the rules "whenever he/she feels like it?"

so why is this enforced on me? My signature signifies my thoughts, beliefs, ideas and such... It isn't a conspiracy so one bunch of people understand it and other not. Something even worse is posting on another language for example on Birthday topics, how many times (as did I on Serbian) people posted "la multzi ani" or however it is spelled "happy birthday" on Romanian...? For me that is ok, it is clear and is really trivial for the rule to be enforced... But I apply the same "trivial" case here. Where's the difference? Let's look at all the signatures, mood panel posts and such, and let's see how many people "broke" that rule you're raising, while I'm the only one under process of being punished (considering it will probably be forgotten to Raven since it is his first "mistake"?) And why again are Latin/Greek words allowed in signatures/mood panel posts while Serbian isn't? the rule says forum language is english... so let's be concrete that that rule includes every feature of writing in forums? (signatures, about me page, mood panel, posts, forum profile comments) if so, we would be the ONLY case where the rule was applied.

every song has its own interpretation in another mind, that's what art is about among other. will every song/quote that has passionate attitude, discontent or similar be taken down cause of possible interpretations of some people? Thank you for your suggestion Udgard, I considered it, and I would do just that if it was some sort of an objective law-dispute, but I think that this thing has been taken way to personal level, and I will refuse to replace my signature (by my will anyway) unless I am proven otherwise. cause some important people have non-forgotten conflicts with me, I am supposed to be totally calm watching that my ever letter doesn't offend someone randomly by any chance? pfff. if those who have the power to do so remove my status, fine, nothing I can do to stop them, but I won't change it by my own will UNLESS I broke a concrete rule, and if so, I will correct my signature so it is fitting for the rules (if I am given the opportunity to do so in that way). Again, I don't see what rule we broke with that signature, if you do "convict" us without caring do we understand what we did or not, fine, again, nothing that we can do about it, but if you do care to "reason us" than please, list those concrete rules that we broke, how did we broke them and such. It's not much of an ultimatum if you want to respond humorously to my post, it's more "you can take my body but not my soul" of a thing.

any deadline?

Udgard you're right, it's lyrics from a song called "Crv" (translated as Worm) by one of the best musicians in modern Serbia. If anyone finds him/herself in the song... well what can I do. Rendril, as one of the, I can say, officials of MD, stated many things objectively which I wish to thank him for, that's usually not the case with such figures of power in MD, and people that question accusations of other officials are often labeled as some kind of MD enemies. You have my respect (as you did before) Rendril said many things that I support, but I'll repeat it as response of my own cause that's what people want I guess. I will be gladly to remove anything that is against the rules, assuming that rules apply for each and everyone, that are clear and without space for self-interpretation. For now, I don't understand what is our mistake, except being said that I (and Raven) acted controversially with this signature. [quote name='Akasha' timestamp='1290504966' post='72882'] - Signature pictures may not exceed following rules: Height: 150px Width: 500px File size: 50kb. [/quote] "Signature Pictures", each and every one is according to the rulebook. Rules didn't state the size of the text... so please modify that if you want, and I'll change things accordingly. Text is rather short, so I don't see the problem there

happy birthday Pip!

I already congratulated you personally but, just for the sake of building up your topic happy birthday!

I totally agree with Kyphis. I used stars frequently, while the cloud itself - not at all. PMs open much faster without the cloud cause of the additional flash animation (that's only my guess ) but stars ain't a problem and are quite useful

yes, I thought about it, that would be considered magic. But consider this: item having an ability (let's say potion that makes you speak french) is magical as well it is realistic for an item to get stolen in that way, but where's the realistic feedback to my beating up the newb so I can get my item back? about alts, my point is, you can just use the other computer... some people play at work and dont play at home (and other way around) and have extra computers on their own... plus internet cafes... That last one is perhaps an extreme scenario, but that the point is that you cane easily create an alt that won't be recognized as an alt if you want it.

without the homing thing, you can still farm cash with those items. Someone just needs to set up "free passage into Golemus for 5 coins", and they'll make a deal, all nice black&white on paper. Having the feature on the item would avoid such formalities, and making deals on every step you move. Alts aren't that easy to detect. Reset your modem, change your computer... whatever it takes to be done... it's not that hard with decent amount of will.

if a trade is commissioned, you can make screenshot of a PM or whatever (like now with any trade), so any abuses would be punished like up till now, but if you want to allow someone to test an item (or in an example i mentioned allow someone to enter another land), you need to make them say "i promise I'll get them back" every time, so you can screenshot it? There wasn't a single case yet as far as I know someone abusing a short-term item transfer (like for an RP event, when someone passes an item temporarily to another person just for the sake of realization of people's actions), so I don't know would that be sanctioned? also a newb, or a new alt has nothing to lose by cheating (considering the account is not yet developed). People owning an item usually have much more to lose by abusing the system. Item that was transfered under the option of temporary usage, should have some signifier bellow that "usable" tag

yes, I remember he mentioning something like that in the announcements, but it is not that rare for him to forget about some things and move on to the others, this one isn't anything that would change the game radically (just boost up the already item system). Like you said, it's already there in test items, and it can be applied in every scriptable item players have. I asked Rendril about this 'new' feature, and he recommended me to post it on the forums. If the community agrees, it might be made possible

yes, a feature that allows Scriptable items that players posses to be transferred temporarily to another player (to have two options, in terms of limited number of usage before it gets back, or limited amount of time)

http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8432-item-limited-use-feature/ item feature limited period suggestion

I would like to suggest a feature that allows me to transfer an usable item to somebody else for period of time or limited number of uses (so for example nobody crosses me over when I transfer Lorerootian Pass papers to someone for one-time use) What do you guys think? here's the Pool, vote! (wait, I just need to set the Pool somehow, uno momento! )

thumbs up for what Peace said. people, it's like you would also ban all religions just cause some people might believe in something that might not be true in Ancient Greeks you had philosophy schools, each having it's special mindset, here people could hear our Raven's mindset, somewhere else let's say Shadowseeker's mindset and such, and believe what they want to believe in, or take into consideration.

don't know did somebody already suggested this (bare with me, I just woke up from a nice nap) Champion of the Year (fighter who left most influence in this year, in the eyes of the voters) edit: doesn't even have to be a person who is in the top of the strongest players, but someone who quickly evolved in fight, in any case great progress by an individual, someone who picked the eye of others just for his/her fighting skills

I would like to help out. Also I would add a suggestion on tournaments with specific themes, that the tournament is announced about the same time on how much every creature from the Theme Category needs to get maxed. I assume people that aren't motivated to fight and train would join in this kind of competitions.

I'll stop posting here as well... I'm sorry that this conversation came to this, I never make fun of people's troubles, if I knew what was the situation, I wouldn't post that. I personally don't have anything against you, and wish you all the best in RL. I hope this haven't affected you much

I wouldn't mention that at all (despite noticing some issues from the firsts posts I read from him), but he insulted me (directly, rather than making fun of my post) and I retaliated. I'm sorry to hear that he has dyslexia, but I'm glad that he managed to live fine with it (he has a job, got married... congratulations). edit: (the quote was from the coup you and Metal Bunny tried to make Grido, Yrthilian originally became king directly from Mur, from what I know. I copied the info straight from Announcement log, I'll copy the whole post in one min just for you) Yrthilian, I didn't know you had dyslexia, and I didn't try to make fun of the illness I didn't know you had (I assumed you just didn't care to maintain what you write, I don't have experience with dyslexia at all, you're the first person that I've heard of who has it) [b]edit for the Announcement I quoted, here's the whole text[/b] [quote] Results for Yrthilian Kingship public voting All the votes submited have been reviewed, marked, and counted. The final result is very very tight. Yrthilian remains KING OF GOLEMUS GOLEMICARUM. Here are the count details of the voting. A full list of the 95 arguments submited (5 votes removed for being empty) can be posted public upon request. During the rating of each vote, a reputation mark from 0 to 2 was given based on your popularity in game. This mark will be counted for future uses. Make sure you vote on future votings to keep this mark updated. "Against" means votes that did not agree with Yrthilian being a King "In Favor" means votes that agreed with Yrthilian remaining a King Simple count of the number of votes: Against: 49 In Favor: 46 Vote score after marking each vote with a mark from 1 to 10 based on the arguments provided: Against: 185 In Favor: 203 Vote FINAL score after adding player reputation and land affiliation mark to each vote: Against: 309 In Favor: 327 Additional notes: Golemus people voted with a score (final marks calculated) of 65 against and 69 in favor, a very tight score for a King that was suppoed to be forgotten by its people. Most votes came from people that do not feel associated with a land, followed by Loreroot and Golemus. Necrovion (Tribunal not considered) had the lowest number of votes. Here ends the first public voting held with the new voting system. Like it or not, the decision reached by the voting is FINAL. [/quote]

when it comes from the likes of you, I find it funny, Yrth, so please don't refrain yourself Being an Irish who can't maintain grammar of the posts in his own language, really adds to your credibility by the way. I didn't put words in your mouth (that 'evil' thing I said is just signifier on what ambient your words can make, not the actual quote, I can't believe I have to explain this to you...) It doesn't have anything to do with Marind Bell. In difference to what you were saying there, that wasn't a Marind Bell training ground. There were lots of non-MB players (actually, the only MB player that was present there was me as far as I know, and I didn't even want to get to the Drachorn Cave, like Ravenstrider, I wasn't asked to be ported there), there were people from Necrovion to Necrovion rebels present Also, you confirming few things that I said, I can take out of (your probable) context, but I don't do such low-acts like some others. It's really tiring when I have to explain every quote you supposedly misunderstood. You REALLY want me to explain to you how can you profit if you have a puppet (in extremes) king in another land? Are you that... hmmm... hmmm to respond to Firsanthalas (it's really trivial, but just for the sake of responding to the statistic on Yrth voting) [quote Announcements] "Against" means votes that did not agree with Yrthilian being a King "In Favor" means votes that agreed with Yrthilian remaining a King Simple count of the number of votes: Against: 49 In Favor: 46 [/quote]

Glad you had some fun Grido anyway, funny or not, it is so clear that even a Paper Cabin newb can see it I mean come on, first Yrthilian talks how Lifeline planned this all along (which implies that he wanted to abuse GG all along, which isn't true), how he suspected all this 'evil' and now it's time for him to act. Bla bla bla, only an idiot would believe that story 3 times in a row. Let's say that the makers are guilty, at least of ignorance if not anything else, but they certainly aren't guilty of "invading Golemus", that's ridiculous, and this issue has nothing to do with Marind Bell. Good job neg-repping Udgard, the most political-biased-less person in MD. Now, Firsanthalas, if I recall, Yrthilian, upon ending the 'war' with LR stated that there are number of people he won't see as leaders of Loreroot. He perhaps didn't directly throned you, but he just cleared a lot of obstacles on the path (despite you wanting to take the path or not, I'm just pointing out the MAJOR social power change after that 'war') since after that Blackthorn vanished, Raven left and abdicated the right on the title he wanted to claim (Archon of Loreroot if I recall). Number of things happened, but let's focus on the present. You can, Yrth, of course, feed number of people how you didn't want such and such to happen, but what do you know, it did happen anyway... 2 times Maybe you didn't aim for that, but both leader-changes were going in your advantage. (I don't count Shade Balance, I wasn't present then, and the "more recent ones" were all purely player made, in sense of motivations to wage war) You don't have to pull the trigger to kill someone, if that wasn't clear? moving on. Are you expecting me to answer to a question "How would a King of one land profit if he would plant some fresh friends as Kings in other lands"? I mean ok, it's a game, it's nothing personal, you do what you want, but do you really expect me to believe your reasoning? That for example, influencing that your best friend (in game at least, since you two know each other in RL) becomes king of Loreroot, was purely coincidental? Just say, I want to take your lands, I'm the sheriff around here, Booooo, and fine, we'll all play the game, but don't insult people's intelligence this way. Or I don't know, perhaps it is standard procedure for declaring wars in general, having "motives" in textbooks might make every 2nd or 3rd person believe that they are true. Ok I took it to extreme, like the war is already here, but you get my point. You can have hundreds of reasons to dethrone another king, I gave one, call it weak if you want, but I call your stated reason for making relations with Marind Bell hostile - ridiculous.

[quote name='Yrthilian' timestamp='1290168419' post='72551'] For now i am putting this forward. No Marind Bell player is allowed into Golemus and will be attacked on site. This is is responce to the Marind Bell leader/king setting up a training ground in Golemus without asking. The other people not citizens of Marind Bell are also not allowed to be in Golemus and will also be attacked on site. (I know this is not really much and difficult to enforce but it is a responce i can give and action with the helo of the land leaders) [/quote] the mood about "Golemus King needs to be asked before an event in Golemus can be placed" has my response: this sounds very hypocritical since Golemus citizen holds "Fight Club" event in MB (as far as I know without asking Lifeline to place it there) and nobody ever commented that in a wrong way (nor it should have), then Golemus citizen made a pub in Willow's shop (don't know is it still active?)... furthermore, if Marind Bell citizens aren't allowed in Golemus, will you restrain from sending your own citizens into Marind Bell? about the Drachorn Cave itself being restricted.... Mur will probably treat that, in any case at least you could have talked in private (as far as I know, you, Yrthilian, and Lifeline had pretty good relations before, which shouldn't undermine communication lines at all) From what I've heard, you and Lifeline have a history of cooperating on certain subjects, so the fact that you aren't speaking with him, but rather making conclusions in public (where Lifeline didn't post a response yet) leads me to following: This all looks to me like a farce to gain some profit from wagging a war to Marind Bell, or to put pressure on disturbing Lifeline's position (since someone was complaining recently about Lifeline, those two cases might be connected), and at least one is sure, this certainly wouldn't be the FIRST nor the SECOND time such poor excuse was being used to create warmongering mood, but this is the third time (at least in my score-books). Now let's look at the statistics. First war lead Firsanthalas having most social power, de facto taking Raven's position, while he was, what 5th or 6th person of importance before the war(?). Second war lead to an elections that replaced Jester at that point, Yrth's enemy, with Peace. (perhaps that wasn't intentional, I'm just stating the facts) Idea of third land-leader being replaced comes to me naturally. I hope this isn't the case tho. (tho I would be interested how would Golemus citizens react, if this was all true, this time, since first time they followed [LR threat-war], second time [invasion on Necro] lead to an unrest and an almost successful coup.) why I respond like this? There was an incident, and I don't see Yrthilian wanting to clear things up, I hear "I would go down the warpath if I was Yrth" and such comments, which Yrthilian accepted and acted upon.

previous (18th) page, somewhere in the middle

btw in response to dst, how come telling someone that he/she is stupid is an insult, but telling weak isn't? (even if you didn't call anyone stupid nor naming people rats, but I'll stick to that weak then) both degrade the person that it is aimed at edit: I was pointing out that you were planting desinformations, that's not offtopic (if it is, than it is a response to your offtopic statements). That applies only to me, or you forgot the rules you're supposed to maintain, again? I'm having troubles adapting to your variable definitions of insulting, since you insult people all the time on forums, having fictional limits, and breaking them whenever you get insulted in the same way.
